Abstract
One pre-configured code point from of a plurality of code points for a multiprotocol label switching (MPLS) traffic class represents a congestion marked code point associated with traffic congestion and the remaining code points represent not-congestion marked. Congestion associated with a label switching path can be determined based on a congestion notification from a router queue and on a pre-determined congestion indicator from a packet header.
